iPhone 5 poor battery life? (SOLVED, READ!)

I unplugged my phone at 7 this morning and atm its 11:17= 3 and a bit hours. It's at 45%. I feel this is abnormal and I should call Apple and see about a replacement. I have full cycled the battery 2 times now with no improvement. Help? location services, fetch, most push notifs, etc. LTE off. brightness at half. Still terrible battery life

definitely not normal. I currently have 5 hours, 51 minutes of usuage.....1 day, 5 hours of standby time, and am at 55%

I thought I was doing well until I saw Dave's. I'm happy with this though. Not much in terms of usage, but the OP cited standby concerns and I'm fortunate enough not to have the same issue. Solid LTE here though.

Definitely not normal. Battery life on my iPhone five has definitely been better than it was on my iPhone 4S. But sometimes, things can get a little wonky. Here's the solutions that I have found:

1) Reset all settings. Had to do this several times over the years after upgrading iOS versions or restoring from older backup.

If that doesn't fix it.....

2) Restore as New. This is the nuclear option, but I've personally never had it not work at fixing battery life issues. You will lose app data, but contacts stored in iCloud will still be there. (Before I did this I would make sure I have contacts backed up to gmail or on my Mac. I don't totally trust anybody's cloud)

I feel like its a jailbreak process that's dicked it. I restored from a jailbroken iCloud backup. Going to restore and try and report back. Thank you all VERY much <3
